Tooth Whitening Dentistry To Fix Discolored, Dark Or Stained Teeth
At Gary B Wiele DDS
Tooth bleaching involves the placement of a bleaching solution on the teeth to
remove stains and discoloration. The solution is held in place by a custom-made, see-through tray that fits over the teeth - much like a mouthpiece worn by a professional boxer.
Bleaching is a safe, effective and relatively easy means of producing a whiter smile.
Two bleaching methods are available at Gary B Wiele DDS: Power Bleaching with a Laser, done at our office, and At-Home-Bleaching, which provides for home use (not to be confused with over-the-counter bleaching products available in local
St Louis area drug stores).
The difference between the two is the strength of the whitening agent
and the time it takes to get effective results.
Power bleaching
usually takes three to six visits, while home bleaching may take two to
four weeks of regular use.
Unless you are really
pressed for time, we recommend the Take-Home whitening method due to the
ease of use and the greatly reduce cost of less than half. We believe
Power whitening is at its best after the staining of the teeth has been
“softened” with the Take-Home method.
Sensitive teeth, or
those that are chipped, eroded or weakened by cavities, must be repaired
or protected before they are bleached, or else you run the risk of
increased sensitivity.
Please don't hesitate to call Gary B Wiele DDS at (314) 726-2265 with any questions you may
have about the benefits of tooth whitening or tooth bleaching for a
whiter smile.
